SEMINAR | THE ASTROLOGICAL CHIRON: THE WOUNDED HEALER AND THE PROFESSIONAL VICTIM

This seminar explores Chiron, both as a celestial body and mythological figure, focusing on his connection to the archetype of ‘the victim’ and its manifestation in personal relationships today. Greene highlights the societal shift towards grievance and outrage, drawing on Jung and Hillman to discuss how perceptions shape reality and contribute to the ‘cult of the victim’.

First mentioned by Homer, Chiron is unique among planetary divinities as a hybrid, conjoining divine and animal qualities. His mythological journey as a healer, teacher, and prophet is examined, drawing out his role as ‘wounded healer’ whose wounds are deeply personal yet rooted in ancestral history.

Noting that planets in astrology are symbolic lenses rather than concrete causes of behaviour, Greene examines the role of Chiron’s placement in a birth chart, emphasising its dual nature of healing and pain. Interactions across birth charts can reveal deeper insights, and the example of Freud and Jung is presented, using charts to explore their intense but ultimately conflicted relationship.

Chiron’s current position in Aries, influenced by Mars, can be seen reflected in collective feelings of powerlessness and frustration in modern life. The seminar offers no easy answers, instead highlighting the value of small steps of resistance, moments of genuine compassion, and consciousness of our own perceptions. True healing requires confronting our own darkness and savage responses to pain.
